Mesquite police arrested two shooting suspects Wednesday in a pair of robberies targeting men who had just visited a check-cashing business.

Victor Lee Wilks, 29, of Dallas and Brad Den Braxton, 19, of Mesquite were arrested after they were pulled over in an Audi sedan that matched the description of a car used in the robberies.

The first shooting occurred at 7:40 a.m. on Monday in the 3600 block of Byrd Drive near Eastwood Estates. The second happened about an hour later in the 4300 block of Gus Thomasson Road, just off Interstate 30.

In both cases, the victims were men who had just left the PLS Check Cashing business at Town East Boulevard and Gus Thomasson Road.

Police say Braxton approached both men outside their homes as they exited their vehicles, shot them with a handgun and fled.

Both victims were hospitalized in serious condition.

Wilks and Braxton are being held in the Mesquite Jail with bail set at $1 million.
